The philosophy of RISC is that the CPU performs a very small number of very simple operations. Whereas a CISC-based computer might have an iastmction that fetches a number from memory and updates a counter, a RISC system implements such an operation with multiple, but simple, iastmctions. By keeping the CPU simple, it can be more readily scaled up to ever greater speeds. The idea is that, although it might execute many more iastmctions than a CISC machine, it can perform its simple iastmctions so much faster that it gets more work done ia a given time period. 

The best known use of the hairpin is its operation in true counter-current flow which yields the most efficient design for processes that have a close temperature approach or temperature cross. However, maintaining countercurrent flow in a tubular heat exchanger usually implies one tube pass for each shell pass. As recently as 30 years ago, the lack of inexpensive, multiple-tube pass capability often diluted me advantages gained from countercurrent flow. 

In X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), an X-ray beam is used to irradiate a specimen, and the emitted fluorescent X rays are analyzed with a crystal spectrometer and scintillation or proportional counter. The fluorescent radiation normally is diffracted by a crystal at different angles to separate the X-ray wavelengths and therefore to identify the elements concentrations are determined from the peak intensities. For thin films XRF intensity-composition-thickness equations derived from first principles are used for the precision determination of composition and thickness. This can be done also for each individual layer of multiple-layer films. 

Fluid Iron Ore Reduction (FIOR) is a process for reducing ore to iron with a reducing gas in a fluid bed. For thermodynamic efficiency, iron ore reduction requires counter current flow of ore and reducing gas. This is achieved in FIOR in a multiple bed reactor. Precautions are necessary to prevent significant back mixing of solids between beds, since this would destroy counter current staging. 

Do it once = do it right. The process outlined here requires a front-loaded level of effort to ensure that the solutions you determine will hold up over time. In many companies this deliberate approach to problem-solving runs counter to a more action-oriented" culture, and there is a strong temptation to fix the problem and get on with it. Keep in mind that the goal here is to develop a process, not to undertake multiple tasks, and consider the time spent in gathering this information as an investment in the longer term value of the resulting PSM system. 

Continuous production ol charcoal is typically performed in multiple hearth furnaces, as illustrated in the Herreshoff patent shown in Figure 2. Raw material is carried by a screw conveyor to the uppermost of a series of hearths, /kir is supplied counter-currently and burns some of the wood to supply process heat. As the layers of wood carbonize, they are transported to the lower (hotter) hearths by rakes. The hot charcoal product is discharged onto a conveyor belt and cooled with a water spray.

Positive- and negative-ion f.a.b. spectra of sulfated di-, tetra-, and hexa-saccharides from chondroitin sulfate have been reported. The spectra are characterized by multiple molecular-ions containing varying numbers of counter-cations to the sulfate and carboxylate anions, plus fragment ions...

Thorium. Multiple-collector measurement protocols by TIMS for thorium isotopic analysis typically involve the simultaneous measurement of Th and °Th (for silicate rocks), or Th and °Th, then Th and Th (for low- Th samples), using an axial ion counter and off-axis Faraday collector (Table 1). Various methods are used to correct for the relative gain between the low-level and Faraday detectors and 2a-uncertainties of l-5%o are typically obtained (Palacz et al. 1992 Cohen et al. 1992 McDermott et al. 1993 Rubin 2001). Charge-collection TIMS protocols enable Th, °Th and Th to be monitored simultaneously on a multiple-Faraday array and can achieve measurement uncertainties at the sub-permil level (Esat et al. 1995 Stirling et al. 1995). 

GC, a 28-year-old woman, complains of a "terrible headache that won t go away." She describes the pain as "on one side and throbbing." The pain began yesterday morning and caused her to leave work. She reports a history of similar headaches since the age of 16, but none that lasted this long. In the past, her headaches were relieved with the use of over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). She often has to take analgesics multiple times per week. 

The cost of recovery will be reduced if the streams are located conveniently close. The amount of energy that can be recovered will depend on the temperature, flow, heat capacity, and temperature change possible, in each stream. A reasonable temperature driving force must be maintained to keep the exchanger area to a practical size. The most efficient exchanger will be the one in which the shell and tube flows are truly countercurrent. Multiple tube pass exchangers are usually used for practical reasons. With multiple tube passes the flow will be part counter-current and part co-current and temperature crosses can occur, which will reduce the efficiency of heat recovery (see Chapter 12). 

An economic exchanger design cannot normally be achieved if the correction factor Ft falls below about 0.75. In these circumstances an alternative type of exchanger should be considered which gives a closer approach to true counter-current flow. The use of two or more shells in series, or multiple shell-side passes, will give a closer approach to true counter-current flow, and should be considered where a temperature cross is likely to occur. 

In the United States, concentrations range from 2% (over-the-counter) to 4% (by prescription). Higher concentrations can be compounded by pharmacists for stubborn cases of hyperpigmentation. Multiple studies have documented the efficacy of hydroquinone formulations [44].
